Free Republic

Officials representing Colorado towns with elite ski resorts are worried they may be the next spot where Republican governors bus or fly border crossers and illegal aliens. For months, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) have been busing thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens to sanctuary cities like New York City, New York, Washington, D.C., and Chicago, Illinois.

The life of a musician is a treacherous one. Many die from substance abuse, gunfire or even angry fans, whilst many, though seemingly a lot fewer, die of plain old age. There are some though, who have died from plane or helicopter crashes; many of whom are very well known and sad losses to the music industry. Here are the ten most famous. Ricky Nelson On December 31st, 1985, Rock & roll singer Ricky Nelson (45), five members of his Stone Canyon band, and his fiancée, were all killed when a fire broke out on board a DC-3 taking them...

Mark Zuckerberg posted a cringeworthy clip to his Instagram account on July 4 in which he rides above the water on an electronic surfboard while holding an American flag to the tune of John Denver's hit song Take Me Home, Country Roads. Zuckerberg, who is worth about $128 billion, has often been photographed in meme-worthy situations. The Independence Day post alone has been watched nearly 470,000 times within three hours of having been posted. 'Happy July 4th!' Zuckerberg, 37, wrote in the caption. According to the website WindFoilZone.com, a complete eFoil setup can 'vary in price anywhere from $4,000 to...

IMO - One of the most beautiful songs ever written and performed. John Denver - Annie's Song

Somewhat relevant of what is happening now, except that Cass Elliot would be eating the fake ballots rather than counting them.

The coronavirus story continues the Dictatorship of COVID-19 worldwide the Faucian version of how humanity is supposed to live with the backdrop of President Trump's diagnosis and treatment now underway. "If we had an honest media" starts this Twitter post..... We'll move forward and consider those from the world of music who have moved on this week. He was one of my friend's favorite singers back in the 1970's and songs like this remind me why my friend loved the music of Mac Davis who passed away this week at the age of 78.....

History should show how three idiots/corrupt folks "poisoned" Capital Hill so that President Trump had to focus on the 'stupid' actions in the House rather than the pending COVID-19 pandemic. There is also a fourth culprit in this situation - the STUPID media. But since COVID-19 is hitting NYC particularly hard, the media is taking lumps in NYC. Let us face facts. "Porky Pig" Pelosi has been more interested in 'pork' and 'power' than the good of the American people. Adam Schiff should not be on the Intelligence committee (in my opinion), let alone chairman of it. President Trump has...

Colorado's experiment with marijuana legalization has been an epic disaster, according to one doctor seeing its effects on the front lines. Dr. Karen Randall, an emergency room physician certified in "cannabis science and medicine," said the legalization of marijuana has damaged, rather than helped, her home state. Randall, who spoke alongside former White House drug czar John Walters at the right-leaning Hudson Institute on Friday, said the public is being misled about the effects of recreational marijuana. "I think the public needs to know that we are not okay," Randall said. "The grand experiment is not going so well. I...

The Boulder City Council unanimously passed a sweeping gun control ordinance Tuesday night banning "assault weapons" and bump stocks, even as a pro-Second Amendment group threatened to retaliate by suing individual councilmembers. In a surprising turn, one Colorado councilwoman admitted that she disagreed with the ordinance "in many ways," saying it would invite a flood of litigation -- despite voting for it.

Most likely people under age 40 have no idea who John Denver was. He had a string of pop hits. Then he died in a airplane crash in some sort of experimental plane? He might have been a goofy granola-eating liberal but he did write some pretty good songs in the "folk-rock" style back in the 1970s. His first big success was writing a song called "Leaving On A Jet Plane" which was a big hit for Peter, Paul & Mary, another group of granola eating liberals. His real life name was Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. Yikes, that's a mouthful....

Thousands of Coloradans have signed a petition to honor the late "Rocky Mountain High" singer John Denver by naming a peak after him in the central Rockies close to where he penned the iconic 1970s song. But the plan has hit a snag -- with the US Board on Geographic Names saying federal policy is to avoid adding names to peaks in federal wilderness areas.

"For tens of millions of people worldwide, this...

A dramatic drug bust at two Aspen restaurants busy with the après ski crowd has created a rift between the two major law enforcement agencies at one of Colorado's premier ski resort towns. Fifty-three officers from a number of law enforcement agencies, some with guns drawn, stormed into two Aspen restaurants during the busy after-ski time last Friday. The raids happened shortly after 4 p.m. and netted about 2 ounces of cocaine, $3,000 in cash, nine arrests for drug involvement and 11 for immigration law violations. Pitkin County Sheriff Bob Braudis, an opponent of the "war on drugs" who believes...

Note: I have a personal website left over from the days when my self-penned John Denver tribute song was on the radio and for sale. (No more) I have since filled the site with anti-Kerry and anti-abortion information. :)) Here is the latest leftist comment to me.... ==================================================== LEFTIST EMAIL: My God, what a hate filled site this is, not that I care much for Kerry or for one party over the other...... What I want to know is, how can the subject of this website claim any affinity with John Denver, when he supports the most anti environmental president...

The dodgiest passports in the world Jun 10th 2004 | MOGADISHU AND NAIROBI From The Economist print edition How people with no government get their travel documents NO SOUVENIR-HUNTER'S trip to the Somali capital, Mogadishu, is complete without a visit to the Big Beard shop. Tucked down a dingy alley in the Bakara Market, not far from the weapons stalls, the Big Beard develops photographs while you wait, and can rustle up a “genuine” Somali passport for just $30. At least, Mr Farah, the proprietor, claims they are genuine. He has a proper laminating machine, and he rescued an official...

John Denver’s lyrics nearly moved Dan Rather to tears. Shortly after ex-POW Jessica Lynch addressed the media inside a tent in Wirt County, West Virginia, a homecoming covered live by all the networks on Tuesday afternoon, Rather displayed both his middle American, homespun patriotic values of paying tribute to those felled in war as well as the goofiness and excessive emotionalism which fuels ridicule of him. At about 2:50pm EDT, Rather reminded his viewers that, in the incident in which Lynch landed in enemy hands, “eleven U.S. soldiers were killed,” and so he asked that viewers “pause for a moment...
